Worlds without Number
Oil on Canvas(Moses Chapter 1)
1 The words of God, which he spake unto Moses at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceedingly high mountain,

 2 And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence.

 3 And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless?

 4 And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease.....

....

 31 And behold, the glory of the Lord was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in the presence of God, and talked with him face to face. And the Lord God said unto Moses: For mine own purpose have I made these things. Here is wisdom and it remaineth in me.

 32 And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.

 33 And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten"

The Crystal View of an Eagle

As Eagles Dare

As Eagles Do

Dare to Fly

But a Few

Dare to Fly

So High

May you keep your Crystal View

Above the Storm Clouds of Life

And your visions and dreams

Above Fear, Above Doubt

And FLY!

Poem "The Mighty Oak"

For a perspective when things get difficult

Here is a poem that our son Brock loved and memorized on his mission:

“The Mighty Oak” 

A mighty wind blew night and day. It stole the oak trees leaves away

Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark, Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground, While other trees fell all around

The weary wind gave up and spoke, “How can you still be standing oak?”

The oak tree said, “I know that you can break each branch of mine into

Carry every leaf away, Shake my limbs and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth Growing stronger since my birth

You’ll never touch them, for you see They are the deepest part of me

Until today I wasn’t sure of just how much I could endure

But now I’ve found, with thanks to you, I’m stronger than I ever knew.”

Unrealistic Expectations-POEM

We often have Unrealistic Expectations of life. We want it fast, now and throw it away if it doesn't work.
Here is a poem showing how silly it all is.

UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

By Patti Miner

eat anything you want

but stay as thin as can be

always travel and stay busy

but be ever neighborly

follow all the trends

but don't fall for every fad

make lots of extra money

but be a perfect dad

when you're sick you take a pill
but side effects then make you ill
so another pill you then take
this continues til you break

a house that's warm in winter

and cooler when it's hot

compact cars with lots of leg room

from the best line at the top

news in the morning

and better news at night

seems our expectations

are completely out of sight

if you find an answer

i hope that you'll tell me

extensive words of wisdom

but of course, i hope it's free
